3D printers are powerful machines that can print all types of 3-dimensional objects on metal, cloth, plastic, paper and many other types of surfaces. They work with STL files and slicer software to produce outputs. Just like computers, laptops, tablets and phones, there are 100’s of varieties of budget 3d printers under $1000.

If you’ve made up your mind to buy one, you wouldn’t want to go through the reviews of each of the printer as it will confuse you. You should instead refer the below list of the best cheap 3d printers below 500 and 1000 dollars. They can be used for personal or professional use

The preachy Printer: This machine tops this list of the best cheap 3d printers because of its $100 price tag (around 6000 INR). This device emits light beam on light-weight resins along the Y and X axis to print an object. It is equipped with a salt container, dipper, valve, magnetic mirrors, inbuilt scanner and a resin level adjustor. Interestingly, the preachy printer is lighter than most of its competitors in this list.
